Chemical and transportation industries could get a boost with new catalyst coating

Aug 5, 2024

Coupling electrochemical conversion of the greenhouse gas CO2 with renewable electricity sources — such as solar and wind — promises green production of high-demand chemicals and transportation fuels. Carbon dioxide coupling products such as ethylene, ethanol and acetic acid are particularly useful as feedstocks for the chemical industry and powering vehicles.

Ammonia-free gallium nitride semiconductor production improves crystal quality and reduces environmental impact

Aug 5, 2024

Gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors can now be grown without ammonia, a toxic chemical that needs a sophisticated detoxifying system before it can be released into the atmosphere. The new technique is not only more environmentally friendly but also allows for the efficient and high-quality growth of crystals at a lower cost. Scientists can make semiconductors more efficiently with a reduced need for raw materials and power. Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan led the study, which was published in Scientific Reports.

Sustainable Catalysts: Crystal Phase-controlled Cobalt Nanoparticles for Hydrogenation

Aug 5, 2024

Controlling the crystal phase of cobalt nanoparticles leads to exceptional catalytic performance in hydrogenation processes, report scientists from Tokyo Tech. Produced via an innovative hydrosilane-assisted synthesis method, these phase-controlled reusable nanoparticles enable the selective hydrogenation of various compounds under mild conditions without the use of harmful gases like ammonia. These efforts could lead to more sustainable and efficient catalytic processes across many industrial fields.

Researchers achieve most precise measurement of thorium-229 for future nuclear clocks

Aug 2, 2024

Physical chemist Alexandrova is known for her research in theoretical and computational chemistry, particularly focusing on the electronic structure and dynamics of complex systems. Her work often involves the development and application of computational methods to understand and predict the behavior of materials and molecules.

Boson systems break the finite speed limit

Aug 2, 2024

The propagation of information can speed up over time in systems of certain quantum particles, a theoretical analysis by RIKEN physicists has revealed.

Three "Twisted" Photons In Three Dimensions

Jul 22, 2024

Researchers at the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI), the University of Vienna, and the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona have achieved a new milestone in quantum physics: they were able to entangle three particles of light in a high-dimensional quantum property related to the "twist" of their wavefront structure.

Quantum materials through the nano-lens: surprises beyond the diffraction limit

Explore how nano-spectroscopy is reshaping the study of quantum materials. In this on-demand session, Prof. Alexander McLeod presents cutting-edge research using nano-scale optical probes to examine phenomena like collective excitations in 2D materials and phase competition in correlated electron systems. This session highlights the integration of optical nano-probes with traditional optics, breaking free from the diffraction limit to enable unprecedented spatial and temperature resolution.
